"Oh, he'll be investigating, all right," Clint vows darkly, "he just doesn't know it yet. So, um, wanna come grocery shopping with me, sometime?"

Jim's question earns a sigh. "Yeah, no, we can't beat 'im up. His wife would kill us. I should explain: the first time Reed caught Skrulls trying to infiltrate Earth, he got them to agree to take a nonviolent shape and then hypnotized them to make them forget they were ever anything else. Apparently, he did it again during a time travel thing, back in the past somewhere. Anyway, they turned into cows, and he didn't really keep track of where they ended up, so now there's hybrid Skrullcows out there. But he'd rather plan his next field trip to the Negative Zone, so I'm gonna have to do the legwork on this one." Beat. "And yeah, he's kinda an insufferable jerk."
